WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand the require- ments of this manual.
• Ground equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in work area. See Grounding instructions.
•Only use grounded Graco conductive air supply hoses.
•Check gun and hose resistance and electrical grounding daily.
•Use and clean equipment only in well ventilated area.
•Interlock the gun air supply to prevent operation unless ventilating fans are on.
•Use cleaning solvents with highest possible flash point when flushing or cleaning equipment. To com- ply with EN50050 requirements, cleaning solvents must have a flash point at least 5°C above ambient temperature.
•Always turn the electrostatics off when flushing, cleaning or servicing equipment.
•If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
•Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop cloths (potential static arc).
•Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
•Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.
•Turn off air supply before servicing equipment.
•All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and regulations.
•Do not touch gun electrode when electrostatics are on.
•Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.
•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
